]]> I love digital cameras, I love Flipcams, I love just about anything I can record video with and documents events, behind the scenes for the various projects I work on, or testimonials for the many clients I work with. Video is the most actively engaged form of media out there right now, just look at YouTube and how many views that site gets in a single day.

That being said, the days of holding your camera in hand could be over. The future of digital cameras could be in the Looxcie, which attaches to your head and allows you to record video with the natural turn of your own head. Looking similar to an oversized bluetooth head set, the Looxcie, which retails for $200, shoots in HVGA quality. Video enthusiasts may or may not appreciate the quality or the limited capabilities of a device like this, but the innovation is definitely there.

Interestingly enough, many might argue that you would not be able to see exactly what you are recording without the standard side screen that most digital cameras come equipped with. For now that situation is solved for Android users who are able to run the Looxcie app which sees what the the camera sees, allowing you to adjust the view all by seeing what the camera sees on the phone. Not only that, but the mobile apps also allows for limited editing and such before pushing out your video to the world.

Does a device like this interest you? I can definitely see the application for certain professional markets, but not sure if they can beef it up for the prosumer market.

]]> For a long time YouTube has been the king of the video search. There have been numerous other video sites, and like the rest, they all fall short in their ability to really attract a wide audience onto their site. Recently I was made aware of Clipta Video Search, in what appears to offer a better interface than YouTube and offering more diverse results.

Clipta also offers distinct categories to make it easier to find videos with less of a chance that a mislabeled video would be placed under any given category. The community on here appears to be active and there is definitely some control behind the scenes to offer the users a better experience. While it may not rank as high as YouTube for your video searches, give it a try!
